Tales of the Witchblade #6

Set against ancient stone pillars and a smoldering sky, this 1998 Top Cow/Image issue places a fierce, auburn-haired warrior woman front and center — clad in a Greek-inspired orange tunic and leather straps, she kneels with a glowing, ornately jeweled sword blazing in her grip. The cover pencils by Randy Green and inks by Jonathan Sibal give her a dynamic, battle-ready intensity that perfectly suits the anthology's exploration of the Witchblade's history across different bearers and eras. Tales of the Witchblade #6 and its story "Samantha" promise exactly the kind of mythic, sword-and-sorcery energy this striking image delivers.
